Its a pretty simplistic and basic realization, but what helped me was when I saw someone else and I had an issue with them, I learned it was because that person was reflecting an aspect of myself that I didn't like.

Someone who wants to be a guru by definition is unsuitable for the position.

The same with shroomery moderators. Some of our best moderators needed a little persuasion before they accepted the position.

On facebook I'm having this wonderful discussion with a self proclaimed shaman. This individual claims no one should be using entheogens, refuses to set foot in the spirit world and does not negotiate with entities, does not follow a particular shamanic tradition and proclaimed themselves Master without any ties to teachers or allegiances with entities. And this remarkable individual is criticizing people who actually DO have ties with entheogens, shamanic traditions and who do spirit work.

SCARED SHITLESS THAT SHIT WILL GET REAL. Thats underneath all this person's antics. Blowing up their ego and dead scared of something such as a cup of ayahuasca actually bursting that bubble.


(not quote...)It's astounding how some people think they know what's best for everyone. We are each having a subjective experience in life and we need to learn to be more empathetic toward each other's struggles and glories. It's a major milestone in some people's lives just to simply go outside and talk to a stranger, while for me it might be digging valuable gems. We need to be able to value and validate each other's subjective realities. Then again some of us have the experience of wanting to be judgmental, violent, greedy etc and while it's a tough one they have just as much right to experience their realities as much as their victims have the right to experience their form of justice. I suppose this is pretty much what we have in the world now. You should just figure out where you are in it.

Gurus suck! These people as a whole have never been able to handle sarcasm or provoked discussion. They all hate it and call it "negative energy".

In my younger years I would call these people on the carpet it was good for a few good But now I don't bother unless it is a mormon or jehovas witness then I poke all kind of holes in their theological ship.
